DeepMind killed off an AI-powered fashion website when it was acquired by Google

DeepMind, Google's AI lab in London, is well known for creating an algorithm that beat the best human in the world at Chinese board game Go. It's also been in the news this month for the controversial work it's doing with the NHS in healthcare. But DeepMind is understood to have a collection of other projects on the go that no one knows about. The research-intensive organisation, which employs around 250 people in a discreet building in King's Cross, writes on its website that it is building self-learning algorithms that can complete a wide variety of tasks straight out of the box. The company, which was backed by PayPal billionaire Elon Musk in its early days, also writes on its website that it wants to "solve intelligence" to "make the world a better place."
